Hi, have you moved to Canada? We have the PR since 2017 and planning to make a move. Your insights would be much appreciated. cheers!

Now what is a highly paid job and what is not is very subjective. I am working as a solution architect in IT industry with a decade of work ex. I have worked in USA and working currently in UK. When I say highly paid job, i mean at least 100000 CAD job. Which btw if you compare with what people...

Last year i received my Canada PR and in Jan 2018, i went to Canada for soft landing (1 week) to apply PR card, SIN etc. Getting Canadian PR is relatively easier right now as compared to Australia. Below is my analysis: 1. Australia - If you have B.E. computer science/IT degree then Aus is...

I have done my soft landing and back in UK. The officer did not ask any such questions to me. But an african american couple next to us were being questioned for long on their purpose of moving to Canada. In case if they ask you, don't mention 3-4 days else they may not issue the PR card and you...

salaries are higher in Australia but so are expenses. PR process is painful and unfriendly. They deduct 2 years of experience even for someone who has bachelors degree in IT/Computers! For non IT guys who are working in IT industry (like me), they deduct 4-6 years and makes almost impossible to...

Thanks for this information! I will be traveling to Toronto on 17th Jan from London, UK. My wife will join me at Pearson airport, toronto. She is traveling from India. I have similar plan. We will be staying for 4 days only. Will apply PR card, SIN and open bank account , get mobile sims etc...

Can you share your experience ? Thanks in advance

I am traveling to Canada in Jan 2018.. will return in 5 days.. will get my PR to a friend's address. will update everyone based on my experience... cheers

Just for your information, I have been reached out by Cognizant and Capgemini to appear for interview online (Skype) for their Toronto offices. So once you have PR and you are in IT, you should get job even before landing to Canada

it does not matter what name is there in your degree certificate. Mine is completely difference since my father name included in degree (thanks to Gujarat University). But my passport name is not having father name included in my given name/last name. I successfully got mine WES done. Also, I...

But to my knowledge, we don't have to apply for Health Card or Driver's license if we are doing a short landing.. pls correct me if I am wrong

Thanks Qorax for this information. My spouse visa is expiring on 1st May 2018. Our final date to enter Canada is by 1st May 2018 (same as passport expiry date). Do we have 6 month passport validity requirement in this case? If yes, then we either have to travel to Canada maximum by Nov 2017 OR...

Hi Deedohad/All Seniors, Hope you are doing good. We have recently acquired our Canadian Permanent Residency under Express Entry Program. Also, we have received our passports back from VFS Global along with immigration visa stamped on it. Our first time travel date is on or before 1st May 2018...

You mean 70-80k in hand after taxes ? I have 10 years on IT exp (in development) and recently got PR. Should I leave current job and travel to Canada taking some risk. Just wanted to take your opinion on this bro. Thanks! :D

Even I am working as a technology lead with around 10 years of exp in software development. My core skills are very niche and I can land very good jobs in my home country any day. But even I realized that it does not matter what clients/organizations you have worked with in past, Canadian...

Totally agree. It is highly foolish to leave a good job in home country and do survival jobs in Canada. I am quite shocked when people say it is alright to work at McDonalds if you are not getting any related job. Obviously when we migrate to Canada we are looking to get job atleast at the same...

Many thanks for your quick reply ! Nope, I was talking about London, UK. Its onsite opportunity from my current company. I am not very keen on that but since I don't have offer in hand from any Canadian based employer, I was planning to take this UK onsite. Can you pls suggest what all the...

Hi Sarah/All, I am in exactly the same situation as you were. We recently received Canada PR and have obligation to travel before May 2018. Currently, I have this opportunity to travel to London and work for 5 years on long term work permit (obviously I will not be able to work all the time...

Hi, My NOC is 2172 (database analyst). I hope this is not a regulated one. But i have done my B.E. in Electrical engineering (got accessed by ECA as equivalent to bachelors degree). How difficult is to get a job in Canada? I have over 10 years of IT experience. Thanks! Got my PR last week :D

Hi, I just received my confirmation of PR today via email from CIC and they have asked for passports now. :D In IP2, it stayed exactly 12 days and overall took exact two months from day of application submission after receiving ITA to getting final COPR email.
